• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Death Penalty

    You do realize that "an eye for an eye" refers to something written like 4000 years ago back when everyone worshiped sun gods, lived in the dirt, and didn't know shit about anything? I would like to think we've moved past that in the last four millenia... and in fact I'm pretty sure our justice...

    Death Penalty

    I don't think the 5-10 innocent people executed is a huge deal either, hence but tell me, why in the world should we enforce the death penalty instead of just letting the criminals rot in jail? I do think we should offer them euthanasia if they want it (not sure if we already do or don't)

    Gun rights

    Gun control, what do you think? This is one topic that I actually think I disagree with the rest of the forum on, so hopefully a debate that is at least somewhat two-sided will ensue. I am against gun control, despite the fact that I don't really ever plan on owning a gun. The ban on assault...

    Death Penalty

    Criminals definitely get sentenced to jail for life without parole in the U.S. (for example, the Unabomber is currently doing so). "Life sentence" might be a euphemism for a shorter time period, but there are also actual life sentences. I don't know what you're trying to say here. Can you...

    Death Penalty

    edit: ninja'd, this was in reply to opal Right, which is why the very next line said Sorry if I was unclear. (of course, it is possible that the fact that my name wasn't attached to it meant that you were just using it as an example in general. if so, i am sorry for raising a fuss)

    Death Penalty

    When I had to write a paper on this, I found an equal amount of sources that said that the death penalty does and does not deter crime (more of the latter, I think, but my memory might be biased). Anyway, think about it this way. If you are about to kill someone, and thinking of the...

    Death Penalty

    I'm pretty sure all the jurors do is decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. The judge determines the punishment. Anyway I think the point that Pwnemon is trying to make is that deaths that the government could, in theory, prevent occur almost all the time. However, the government...

    Death Penalty

    I'm against it obviously. There is really no reason to exercise capital punishment at all - it costs more, innocent people end up dying, it doesn't actually deter crime, and it's pointlessly cruel in comparison to life without parole. There's also a whole bunch of stuff about how blacks are more...

    Painful nostalgia.

    Give me an example of some way I could prove it to you, and I will!

    Painful nostalgia.

    Seriously. :P

    Painful nostalgia.

    Does anyone remember AgentChronon? That was me. I am... fairly certain I was the worst of everyone here. :O

    Recommend music for other people

    There are lots of threads where one person shows up and says "recommend me music" so I thought I would start a little recommendation party where just one person doesn't get all the action. That way we can all start liking newer and better music! Basically just post a list of ~20 artists and then...

    Ground Zero Mosque

    I really don't think anyone is saying that they are. At tCoD, however, they do seem to go hand in hand.

    Stupid fundies are stupid

    I don't know, this guy has some good points. Some of these bands (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte) I would also consider "straight from the pits of hell". BA DUM PSSH (some of this is really good, I like how AC/DC is on there for having an "extremely offensive and harsh sound" (yeah, maybe if...

    Ground Zero Mosque

    on a few things (and really rambling and tangential, sorry): Yeah, sorry about this. I didn't mean that these necessary all went together, I just mean that these are things that tCOD disagrees with. Of course there are conservative and religious people who are not authoritarian. Anyway, on...

    Ground Zero Mosque

    I'm not really sure what would happen if an extremely eloquent conservative religious authoritarian person showed up and started debating with us here - I'd kind of like to see that take place. All the conservatives that have showed up one by one and left over the years were pretty "n00by"...

    Theism, Religion and Lack thereof

    This is kind of tangential (then again, a very large amount of this thread is) but I've always sort of seen a (potential) all-knowing, all-powerful god as something profoundly simple.

    Black & White

    There's nothing horribly wrong with it, but I did like the chibified toy version way, way better.

    I literally just saw it. It was pretty good, too long though.
